The foster dog scene seems to be changing around here almost daily. Merlin, Gold and Chili are all spoken for!! Merlin will be heading north to Kalispell. He was chosen as a companion by a woman who needed a sweet and gentlemanly greyhound. Hopefully connections can be made this week end for him. If anyone is traveling between Missoula and Kalispell and can transport a pup please call Carol and Dan Tripp to make arrangements. His home is waiting to shower him with love.

When the Bjarko family of Sydney suffered the unexpected loss of their beloved greyhound boy Reese they felt the need to fill that hole with another greyhound boy. The problem became which greyhound boy. While mom fell in love with Gold the boys could not get Chili out of their minds. So they decided to jump in and adopt BOTH!! They are hoping to make the move this week end via a leap frog system of transport. It is all set up except the Great Falls to Havre leg. I for one am looking forward to the pictures of that homecoming!!

Dori will also move this week end. Kathy B. of Missoula has agreed to foster Dori. She goes into this knowing it likely will turn into a long term foster. Dori is very sweet but really needs a steady routine and prefers not to have men in the home. We were going to wait until the picnic for Dori to move but the more we chatted the more we got to thinking why wait? Dori may as well make the move and settle in. Tripps have given Dori excellent care and send her into her new foster home with a lot of love....they even say she can come back if she isn't happy...but we all have the feeling she will blossom under Kathy's tender care.

I have visited Run in her new home and she is settling in. Her name has been adjusted from generic Run to feminine Karly. Karly will learn her new name but I am not so sure I can be retrained. I need to call her by her right name after all I am her dog-god mother. She is doing wonderful and her new family are certain they got the best dog in the world. Which is exactly what every adopter should think.
